Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr Femi Adeshina on Friday reacted to criticism that President Buhari's appointments so far have been in favor of the North.
Speaking on Ray Power 100.5 FM's Political Platform, Adeshina said that Buhari's appointments would soon balance out as the President was aware of the Federal Character principle.
He however, noted that the appointments so far made have been on merit as the President wants to work with the very best of Nigerians.
“Nobody can fault the fact that those appointed were based on merits.
“In terms of the spread, the President has the prerogative to appoint and he knows there is Federal Character.
“I am sure that there will be balance in the future.
“These are still early days. At the end of the day, we will have a balance.
“By the time more appointments are made, it will balance out. The President is trying to get the very best of Nigerians. The issue of key positions and no key positions should not be the issue.
“He gave a deadline of September for the appointment of ministers and he will keep to it, ” he said.
